Finding Cats

In my later years, I’ve started playing hidden object titles and it seems that cats are ubiquitous in the genre. So, I have quite a few cat searches under my belt. They (both the games and the cats) come in all shapes and sizes. Finding Cats is a an average addition to the list of HOG titles, with a slight twist. It has 15 stages that are detailed 3D models of unpopulated scenes (a store, a bar, a bank, a farm, a racetrack, etc.). Each stage has 30 to 100 cats for you to locate and abduct via UFO. Almost all cats are in plain sight, but some are harder to see because you are searching from an overhead view. You can move in 4 directions (N, W, E, S) and you can rotate the scene. Like a flight game, you use a combination of moves (direction plus rotation) to see the entire space. As you change your perspective, additional cats will become visible. This gives Finding Cats a very different feel than locating hidden objects on a large “flat” canvas that can be scanned horizontally and vertically. At first, it was a bit disconcerting. Then, it became frustrating as I attempted to “fly” in a way that allowed me to see inside smaller rooms and around corners. There is a timer for each stage, which does not seem to have any impact. From what I can tell, your times are not saved or charted and there are no speed achievements. Steam achievements are earned by finding all cats (including a “special” feline) on all stages. Finding Cats could be a bit more user friendly. There is nothing to indicate which stages you have completed. There are no hints and no ability to save progress in a specific stage. Thus, if you get stuck looking for the last cat, your options are to “soldier on” or to give up and restart the stage later. On a stage with 30 cats, this is no big deal. But it is a hardship when you have found 99 out of 100 cats and it is getting late. There is soft background music, coupled with cat sounds when each cat is located. Over time, I did not find this soothing, so I played without sound. I recommend Finding Cats to those seeking variety in satisfying their cat addiction. Others may want to consider an alternative title with hints and save points.

Another hidden object game where the only objective is to find a bunch of cats. There are no rules or restrictions, and even though there's a timer, it's only there for speedrunning purposes, so you can take all the time you want to find every cat. You can also click anywhere without worrying because there's no penalty or grading system for clicking on anything other than cats. What sets it apart from most similar games is its stages, which aren't hand drawn or limited to a single color palette. Instead, they feature isometric locations such as a bank or a farm. They're completely devoid of life and look as if every human disappeared in an instant without even having a chance to panic. The only living things left are cats, which fits the premise since you're rescuing them with a flying saucer by clicking on them. However, there are some inconsistencies, such as the racetrack stage, where low poly human characters appear and the cats are larger than the racing cars. There are 15 stages, and you are supposed to play them in order, although you can play any of them despite the lock sign on them. The difficulty depends on the number of cats you need to find. It starts with 30, increases to 50 in a few middle stages, and the last few require you to find 100 cats. The locations look fine, and you can rotate the camera and zoom in slightly, but there are very few animations. The camera and zoom are frustrating because you might move in one direction only to be stopped by invisible barriers. Then, after rotating the camera, you'll discover there are still cats hidden behind whatever blocked your path. This happens because zooming only changes the camera's distance, not its position, so you'll still run into the stage boundaries whether you're fully zoomed in or fully zoomed out. One thing I like is that the cats are animated, and you'll see them wiggle their tails, which can help you spot them more easily. They also gain an outline when you hover your mouse cursor over them, but this isn't very useful for finding them by simply moving the cursor around. The only exception are annoying darker stages where cats are hard to spot in the dark. All the cats are in plain sight and aren't hidden behind objects that need to be moved or opened first. Each location also contains a dancing meme cat, which rewards you with an extra achievement if you find one in every stage. However, these don't count toward the total cat count, and there's no indication on the stage select screen showing which ones you've already found. Even worse, you can't even tell which stages you've already completed. The worst design choice is complete lack of hints, so you will end up spending countless minutes searching for that few cats you missed, especially on bigger locations. There is one help, a heart that plays a “meow” sound depending on how far you are from a cat, but it’s broken and plays a sound no matter where you are. What makes this even worse is that you can’t quit a stage and resume later, and have to restart a stage each time.

[h1]《尋咪》：真是調皮又壞壞的貓貓們[/h1] 眾所周知，貓貓這種生物可以存在於各種地方，而且可以做到與環境融為一體……所以說這次的遊戲也是這樣，不是讓你來“躲貓貓”的，而是讓你“找貓貓”的啦，你需要的就是在各種各樣的場景裏面，慢慢找到各種各樣的貓咪，沒有什麼倒計時，也沒有什麼眼疾手快，在這裏只需要放下心態，step by step找到貓貓們就可以的啦。 [h2]沒有貓毛！只有超可愛的貓貓！[/h2] 本作真的相當適合貓控玩家！玩家只需要放慢腳步，盡情享受這個充滿治癒的解謎過程啦，然後需要的就是滑動滑鼠，伴隨著非常舒緩的音樂，讓藏在各個地方的貓貓都給找到（貓貓的確好多也好隱蔽，超級調皮的——當然牠們也真的好壞的，因為有些場景可能有幾十上百只貓貓，你就找吧哈哈哈哈哈哈），本作提供的場景也十分豐富，各種各樣的風格都有，色調的確很柔和，真的很容易讓心靜下來——如果感覺找貓貓可能有些繁多，這裏也有好多的喵喵叫，怎麼樣，夠治癒吧。 [h2]躲貓貓難，找貓貓更難！[/h2] 這次採用的是3D環境下的場景，所以說對於玩家眼力還是蠻有要求的，當然也帶來了新的挑戰，比如說可能是光影可能就隱藏了只貓貓什麼的（都說了貓貓真的好壞的，這都能藏），所以說不放過任何可能想得到想不到的細節，可能出乎意料也是本作的亮點之一啦……只是本作雖然主打輕鬆愜意，但是貓貓還是存在尋找難度的，建議可以優化下提示機制啦，總體而言本作還是很耐玩的，值得推薦！ [quote]关注鉴赏组：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦，一鉴倾心，邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组：[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅！[/quote]

寻找咪咪的休闲娱乐小游戏，因为是猫咪题材，本养猫人士自是不能错过。游戏的玩法很简单，玩家需要在在俯视角的地图中，找到所有的猫咪特工，将它们尽数召回即可结束。 有多种角度看待问题，猫咪也需要更换角度才能看到！当然也不排除猫咪会轻松融入环境，这就要考研你的眼力了！比较有意思的还有隐藏的meme形象出现，快来地毯式搜索，寻找哈吉咪的身影，不过不如在我家咪，每次都能在家中找到新的藏匿点呢，想来拜他所赐锻炼出来的！ 游戏玩法简单，配合上BGM体验轻松愉快，共有十五个关卡，后面需要寻找的咪咪也会变多，玩家通过俯视角来寻找地图中的猫咪，用键盘控制移动，右键控制旋转玩起来会更方便一些。通过移动地图改变角度来寻找藏在犄角旮旯或是时间盲区中的猫咪，宛如一个扫地机器人，但是搓完这面搓那面！ 游戏的场景很多，像是一个精致的小沙盘，每一关都是不同的造景，充斥各种生活中的场景，都有比较细致的呈现，猫咪就藏在这些地方！说是藏，其实并没有，只是有些善用地形“隐藏”了自己，或是被建筑物挡住，最考验静态视力的一集。 真是感叹这么小的屋子竟然可以藏这么多只猫咪！不过还好人送外号眼神好，找起来那是一个得心应手，手到擒来！不过后面大地图找起来就需要细致的寻找，当然我觉得最难的还是场景光亮很少的地图。 整体玩起来还是比较不错的，当然他没有什么别的特别玩法，只是提供一个休闲治愈的途径，找到咪咪就会叫一声咪咪，可爱捏，但是为什么成就是退出一口气出来，不过时间是不一样的，还好！ [quote]欢迎关注『 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45525570/] 桃你欢心 [/url]』 [b] 桃影扶风评百戏，落墨如歌写人间[/b][/quote]

很可爱的找猫咪游戏，找到就会被飞碟吸走，俯视角找猫，可以旋转不同角度来发现。每个关卡数量不多，地图也不大， 不怎么卡关。

《寻咪》是一款简单休闲的寻物游戏，从标题也看得出来我们要找的东西是猫猫了。游戏的设定非常有趣，这些要被寻找的猫猫都是来自喵星的潜伏特工，我们要做的是前往地球迎回它们并且回收情报。所以每当你点击一只猫猫，都会有一架UFO行驶到上空将它们暴风吸入，特别有意思。 游戏内一共有15个不同关卡，难度也会逐步上升，从单个关卡中30只猫猫，慢慢变成50只、100只。尽管其中大部分的猫猫都会因为动作或者处于显眼的位置被你一秒识破，但本作使用的并不是常规的2D图片，而是3D场景，还有许多猫猫会隐藏在视线被遮挡的地方，你得选择场景后从另外的方向才能找到它们。 另外一点则是不仅猫猫的数量会变多，地图的场景也会慢慢变得复杂，在局部放大后，不规则的地图边缘经常会让你找不到方向，从而忘记屏幕上的当前画面是否已经仔细搜寻过。还有一些聪明的猫猫会根据自身的颜色寻找颜色类似的场景进行躲藏，或者是在昏暗处静观其变。只是不知道，明明我们是来接它们回家的，为什么要躲着我们捏。 但实际上最大的难点还是在于玩家的心态变化，随着找到的猫咪越来越多，当只剩下最后一两只的时候，迟迟找不到它们就会让人慢慢失去耐心变得烦躁。游戏内又没有提供任何的帮助功能，你只能在时间一点一滴消逝的情况下，一遍又一遍的查看明明已经找过的各个角落，去发现自己究竟是在哪里棋差一招。 总体而言，《寻咪》作为一款治愈得寻物游戏，在容易上手的前提下又保留了一定的难度，玩起来非常考验玩家的耐心和观察力，不过并没有通关的时间限制，可以慢慢寻找。 [quote]欢迎关注 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45531068/]黑白测评[/url] [hr][/hr]黑夜显真 白昼辨伪[/quote]

[h1]此时的找猫咪进度 [29/30]，而它却在某个小角落和地板融为一体[/h1] 严肃提醒：[b]这个游戏没有“最后几只猫”的位置提示[/b]，你只有死扣小屋子一间间旋转视角核对，几乎是所有晕三D玩家的噩梦，完全不建议晕3D玩家和熬夜玩家进行游玩，真的一点也不放松。 游戏的设计思路是很好的：3D版本找猫咪大赛，利用随机生成的猫咪和场景布置吸引玩家入手，并沉浸在一段悠闲而快乐的找猫咪时光中，但是其一言难尽的打光和渲染效果（笔者原生3072*1920）不禁让我有些窒息和晕厥，说不清楚是熬夜熬得还是游戏害的，或者两者兼有之。 一个很巧妙的设计：俯视角下部分物品，会被墙面或者其他物品所遮挡，故无法选中，也因此《寻咪》很难单纯依赖鼠标的选择特效判定猫咪位置，至少不会直接刷选所有猫咪，而相对应的猫咪的动作、状态也不尽相同。大多猫咪能够通过颜色、动作很快的找出，而部分猫猫实在是蹲在那里一动不动，或者干脆同环境颜色相近而融为一体，对于静态视力极差的玩家来说相当不友好。 此外像是左上角的爱心键能传来猫咪叫声、Oiiai猫彩蛋、以及每间关卡特有的Lofi音乐共同构成了本作独有的《寻咪》气质，或许它因为毫无引导而不怎么友好，但是肯花超过15分钟的时间肯定能找到所有猫咪，有时候场地里甚至还会超过30只猫猫！ [quote]买肯定是要买的，玩肯定是不玩的 快来关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38222893/] G胖受害者鉴赏家[/url] 让选择游戏变得更加简单[/quote]

[h1] 《寻咪》简评[/h1] 有别于传统的2D平面里猫咪找茬游戏，本作是在3D立体环境下利用俯视视角来寻找猫咪。这种猫咪的隐藏，还是非常考验玩家的眼力见的，除了耳熟能详的利用环境颜色的辨识度来隐藏之外，还有很多猫咪是利用视角盲区、光暗效果等方式做到隐藏的。想要找齐全部关卡的全部猫咪，玩家需要习惯游戏中的颜色、适应游戏里的光暗以及熟练控制游戏中的镜头移动和视角转换，说不定某一只猫咪就隐藏某个非常不起眼的地方。 游戏总共15个关卡，这15个关卡的难度并没有想象中的那么简单。有些关卡就卡在最后的那么两三只猫咪，死活都找不动，尤其是那种场景光线相当暗淡的关卡，那是真的太难寻找了，超费眼神的有木有。哦对了，还有一些猫咪是完全静态不动的，这对于静态视力敏感度低的玩家，实在是太不友好了。而且本作是没有任何提示的，全程只能依靠玩家自己慢慢的找了。 好在游戏的背景音乐还是相当舒缓放松的，貌似一个关卡就是一首旋律不错的曲子，反正游戏也给不了玩家太大的压力，实在找不到那就只能找不到了。 [quote]关注「[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/45531088] 鸢尾花 [/url]」[/quote] [u][b] 致那一朵未至鸢尾花 [/b][/u]
